This 4,800 square-foot guesthouse is a three-story residence consisting of a main-level master suite, upper-level guest suite, and a large bunkroom. The exterior finishes were selected for their durability and low-maintenance characteristics, as well as to provide a unique, complementary element to the site. Locally quarried granite and a sleek slate roof have been united with cement fiberboard shingles, board-and-batten siding, and rustic brackets along the eaves. The public spaces are located on the north side of the site in order to communicate with the public spaces of a future main house. With interior details picking up on the picturesque cottage style of architecture, this space becomes ideal for both large and small gatherings. Through a similar material dialogue, an exceptional boathouse is formed along the water’s edge, extending the outdoor recreational space to encompass the lake. Photographer: Bob Manley

Adding the same chalk paint and wax finish to decorative wood frames brought balance and charming detail. It was also a perfect sample to go fabric shopping with-bonus! Photography: Reverie Place

What began as a problem-solving exercise to control excessive wind in the courtyard of a newly-built semi-custom Spanish Colonial Revival home in Orinda, CA, culminated in a true work of art. The hand-crafted metal and resin screen design began with a traditional Moorish star pattern that was scaled up then distorted slightly. Two-inch wide steel bars are interwoven to create a frame holding opaque resin panels that block both the wind and views from the neighboring property. Bland concrete floors were replaced with bespoke cement tiles that continue the Moorish star pattern and complete the client’s vision of a Spanish retreat in the California hills.

H2905G Custom French Station Lantern with custom scroll bracket in dark copper and clear-seedy glass. Copper Lantern Lighting only uses copper or brass on all our exterior lanterns and landscape lights. We highly recommend copper for coastal properties. Copper will turn an interesting rust patina where as brass will turn a verdi-green patina. All of our lanterns are built to last a lifetime. We use cast brass bar stock for all of our structural supports. Living on the coast requires everything you put on the outside of your home to be resistant to salt air or you will be replacing those items within a year. The initial cost of installing copper or brass light fixtures will pay for themselves when you won't have to replace them year after year. Never purchase steel or tin fixtures. They will rust out and leave ugly rust streaks down your siding. Cast Aluminum fixtures will pit out and flake away, leaving an unsightly lantern. Plastic fixtures will dry out from intense sun and fall apart from coastal winds.
